Revision Notes: The DVD Register, Release 1.23.13.04 (Fourth Build) Built July 14, 2013
The Release 1.23.13.04 install script was revised to correctly detect Access 2013 (aka Access 15). Access 2013 retail was released by Microsoft in February 2013. The Access 2013 Runtime was released in July 2013. If Access 2013 is installed on the PC, then it will be used as the host application for the DVDR.
MODIFICATIONS:
The File>Open>Movie Form was changed to provide more room for the technical specifications panel. The fonts on this form were made more consistent.
The Tools>Rapid Web Form was changed to provide more room for the hosted web browser. Due to a limitation in Access the form cannot be resized at run time.
The Help>About form was changed to show the location of the catalog file.
Disk types “DVD-R” and “DVD Blu-ray 3D” were added. Forms and reports were changes to filter on these new disc types. Several Forms and Reports were revised to provide more space to the Disc Type field. Forms were updated so that filters would include these disc types.
BUG FIXES:
The legacy feature custom report (View>Reports>Features>Custom Report…) would fail. An underlying query had been damaged in an earlier release. This query was repaired.
The Help>About… Form will now correctly show Access 2010 and Access 2013.
Access 2013 dropped support for Access 1997 format database files. The DVDR made use of some Access 1997 capabilities for user permissions. The 1997 user permission structures were removed in this release. This change should be backward compatible with Access 2000 and later versions of Access. As a result of these changes, the shortcuts were changed. The permissions are not longer set by the arguments in the shortcut. It is now possible to open the catalog file by right clicking the catalog file and selecting open.
As a result of the change in the db permission structure, it is not possible for Release 1.23.13 to use the File>Import>Upgrade Yours Discs… Command for catalogs from prior releases. However it is possible to import from another 1.23.13 catalog into a 1.23.13 catalog. The work around is to export a backup using the File>Export>Backup… command using the older catalog. The backup can be imported into Release 2.23.13 using the File>Import>Backup… command. This precludes upgrades from releases prior to 1.23.xx.
The File>Open>Image Grid menu item was removed. This menu command caused a fatal crash in Access 2010 and 2013, presumably due to an incompatibility with the 3rd party controls that were used in this form.
The Help>What This? Menu item was removed. This command was not supported in the Access runtime mode and would not appear in the menu. It produced an error in Access 2013. For compatibility it was removed.
The Feature Aspect Ratio table had several records that had empty values for the aspect ratio code. These empty records were populated with the correct values.
During a File>Import>Backup… of File>Import>Upgrade… a warning message could occur: “There isn't enough disk space or memory to undo the data changes this action query is about to make”. The import procedures were changed to suppress this warning.
CHANGES TO THE REFERENCE CATALOG:
The local reference catalog was rebuilt from the factory reference catalog that was current to titles released through May 30, 2013. This new factory catalog includes all corrections made to the reference catalog. All Catalog Updates through Update 219 are present in this rebuilt catalog.
